P 1415 H C, first code in 3 years---->

I was GRANNY drivin in traffic............and BLAM...........the old CHECK ENGINE light came on :( :cry .......... BUT it was the 1st.............YES the 1st time in 3 years and 2 weeks of ownership..........and that includes the 2 years and 4 months of MTI heads and cam installed :yesnod:

went thru the manual diagnostics and 1415 HC was the culprit :(

looks like the code was for:

DTC P1415 Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System Bank 1

now, I was babying it, and need to get it out and DOG on her :yesnod:

any experience with this code and it's severity or possible ensueing problems??????????

thanks

Hey RAT,
From the General.....

Conditions for setting DTC > The HO2S sensor does not go below 222mV for 1.2 seconds.
OR
The short-term fuel trim does not change more than a predetermined value.

Actions
1. Connect scan tool and monitor the (left front) HO2S sensor.
2. Visually inspect AIR system component for heat damage leaks connections and security.
3. Inspect AIR system for blockage from the left exhaust manifold to point where the system branches to both side of the engine.
4. Replace the check valve.

Note check valve failure can allow air/hot gases to flow in both directions causing heat damage to the AIR system components.

Hope this helps,
Kevin

Pull the black hose from the drivers side AIR valve right beside the left exhaust manifold and see if the valve is rusted close. Normally happens to bank 2 but it's the usuall culprit. If you can remove the black AIR valve see if you can blow through it.

PCM monitors the change in 02 voltage when the AIR pump is commanded on. If its plugged it wont see the change
